I am hoping to talk to some folks in VA who have had success building their own Cob house! I am an interior designer. I have a loose design and met with an architect yesterday. I have questions about building, codes, and financing. Considering attending a cob building workshop or applying for an apprenticeship in Oregon at the Cob Cottage Company. ANYONE OUT THERE?!?! feel free to send me a moosage

So, as you all know, back in Jan of this year I talked of starting the build of this years project and low and behold VA had typical VA weather, unpredictable at best!! So needless to say there was a couple of months of delay, however, that time was not wasted. There were several and I mean several different designs that I went through before I landed on my dream design. It is true what they say that cob building is 90% planning and design and 10% building!! Though we are currently about a month behind on my self imposed deadline due to the sheer size of the project, we are making it up with hard work and determination!! Yay!! I include some images of the new projects foundation and will update as I remember to here over the course of the build season. And to answer everyone's question, there are only the four of us ( as stated in previous post) working on this project. I figure that if we as a family can do this, really anyone can!! Happy Cobbing VA!!! 2016!!
